Down 3/4 pound. After so many gain or no loss weeks, I am happy! Next week will be even better!
I am happy to take the water challenge. That’s such an important one. My hub had to get labwork. He was dehydrated and they couldnt find a vein. He had to hang out in the lab and drink a bunch of water. This helped me realize how important it is to stay hydrated. I am going to make this a permanent goal.0 -
I have an isometric exercise I do 3x day for physical therapy. I believe is is the reason I am able to walk with a cane instead of crutches now.
Stand with your side toward a wall and rest one hand lightly on the wall for balance. Keeping your upper legs and knees parallel, bend the knee farthest from the wall until the lower leg is parallel with the floor. Head up, shoulders back, stomach in. Do not let your knee drift forward. Hold 45 - 60 seconds. Repeat 3 times on each leg.0 -

Good day. Got my water in and did upper body strength training.
Settling in for a storm. Rain tonight and tomorrow changing to snow with a possible 6 - 12 inches. That would be the most we've had all winter.
Sleep well!0 -

Randi, I allow myself one cheat day per week, usually Monday after I weigh. I either don’t track calories or don’t exercise or both. If I didn’t do this, I would falloff the wagon and stay there. Don’t feel bad about missing the mark one day. Just start again today.0

It's fine to miss sometimes as long as we keep motivated.
I will be doing a lot less steps for the next 10 days as Ollie my dog has some stitches but hey ho.
completed a leg strength exercise with leg straps
completed water intake
stayed under my calories
Stay strong everyone.

I have added another challenge for the rest of the week it's sort of an open one for you to try.
I am going to research and try to do more of my wood work project as I need to try different techniques for wood carving.
I can't wait to see what your going to try.1 -
Today was my cheat day. Left my house at 8 this morning and got home at 3. Orthopedic surgeon appointment. Xrays. Surgery school. They let me schedule the knee replacement for June 13, so son and daughter in law will be on maternity leave and wont need a babysitter. Anyhow, after all that, grabbed fast food in the way home. Noexercise today. I am whupped.
Can’t wait til I get my new knee and I can walk again and ride my bike.2 -
Cat, I imagine it must be a relief to have your surgery scheduled. Know that we will be pulling for you.
Ann, thanks for the new challenge. It's going to push me to finish an art history course, and start a new course on Physiology and Fitness. Please post pictures of your wood carving when you have completed a piece. I imagine it would be so difficult!
Yesterday was a better day for me, and today I am still on track. Planted spinach seeds today - am I optimistic that spring is coming or what?!

After much thought, i have decided to challenge myself by creating a capsule wardrobe. I ordered a book that includes patterns for 16 mix and match pieces of clothing. I made rules for this project.
1-go through my closet snd get rid of all the fat clothes. ALL. Show no mercy.
2- I must use fabric out of my sewing room stash ( which is enough to stock a small shop.) I am allowed to buy matching thread or zippers if I have to, but nothing else. I have four one gallon mason jars full of vintage buttons I have collected for years. Now I have to use them.
3-slow sewing, savoring every minute. There is no deadline to meet and the gosl is quality, not quantity.
4-At least one wardrobe piece must have hand embroidery on it somewhere. I also ordered a book on this since I haven’t tried it since 8th grade home ec class.
5-one item must be a purse, totebag, or backpack. I have a vintage machine capable of sewing leather and heavy materials which I have never used. Time to get it out, clean it, oil it, and learn how to operate it.
These goals will really challenge me and probably take months. I am so excited about it. Thanks Ann. You are making me stretch in more ways than one.1 -
Impressive goal, Cat!
Ann, hope you're doing well. Had a good day. No rain today, so exercise was outdoors.

Watched the grandgirl today, so no exercise. I didnt have a chance to track calories, but I tried to make healthy choices and control portions. I think I did well.0

Ann, I'd go crazy without an internet connection. Hope it gets resolved soon.
Good day here. Ab work and leg weights, plenty of water. Sundays I give myself a break from strength training.0 -
Stuck to my calories today. Yay!
The physical therapy homework takes 90 minutes. I dont know how to count any of it except for my elliptical machine. Some exercises are isometric. Others target strengthening different muscles or balancing or flexibility. There is one where I just walk back and forth across the room carrying a 15 pound kettleball. So I just log the elliptical and skip the rest.
Ann, I get super grouchy without internet. Hope yours is resolved soon. Can’t wait to see pictures of the hedgehog.
Randi, I will follow your example and give myself Sunday off. Thank you!!!!
I miss our friends who dont post anymore. I am always grateful when Gerri checks in.
